A condition (IF block) that makes something happen on one of the sprites when the sprites collide. If you put a condition on both sprites, they may not both work.
CHALLENGE: If the above all works, you may add a 3rd sprite. This sprite should move forever. If you add this sprite, you must add conditions so that if it collides with the other sprites something happens.
Open your Key Moves project & finish it, if it is not done. You should have 2 sprites: one that moves with the arrow keys and one that follows the mouse. Video Tutorial / Scratch Card
Rename your Key Moves project to "Something" Game, like Cat & Mouse Game
Add a condition (IF block) so that if the sprites collide something happens
CHALLENGE: Can you add a 3rd sprite that moves forever and does something if it collides with the other sprites? Can you avoid this sprite?

Next project to create - Move with Arrow Keys (Key Moves)
Pick a sprite that looks like you are looking down on it
Program the sprite to move around the screen with the arrow keys
You may add a background.
You can make your sprite change color (does not work on sprites that are pictures) every time you click an arrow key.
Challenge: Can you make your sprite a specific color when you press a specific arrow key. For example, sprite turns blue when I press the left arrow key and red when I press the right arrow key. Hint: You will need a set color block.
Go to the Scratch website, sign in, and create a project with a sprite that moves forever. Forget how to do something? Check out this Video Tutorial - you can use a different sprite, if you wish. If you are done with this, try some of the following:
Each student will have 2 attempts to create a cookie stack.
Students will place one cookie on the paper plate/table cloth and add one cookie at a time to the stack.
Students may NOT adjust the cookie after they have placed the cookie on the stack and moved their hand away.
Cookies need to be freestanding and NOT leaning against any kind of support or use any kind of adhesion so they stick together.
Cookie needs to be a regular cookie and not separated in ANY way.
Another student should be tallying as the student stacks.
A tumble has occurred once 1 or more cookies have tumbled off the stack. The complete stack DOES not need to completely tumble for it to be called a tumble.
